To The Grave | Supernatural [SYTYCV]

"We are all helpless to the song." My entry for the Paradox Challenge of SoYouThinkYouCanVid. Song and clip info can be found at the end of the video. Our task for this challenge was to take something (a character, relationship, or general overview) from a show/movie/etc and portray it in a different sort of atmosphere than how it's normally presented. Judges Note: Supernatural, while at times can be outrageously funny/happy, is generally considered to be a drama with some very dark elements. With death being such a major theme of the show, I thought it would be cool to use an upbeat, almost cheerful song to explore its presence in the overall story. Death, as to be expected, is viewed as a very grim and often bloody affair in the show. Characters naturally try to defy it at all costs, but many succumb in the end. Despite that the atmosphere of this song differs from how the subject of death is portrayed in the show, I felt that the lyrics still fit very well. The brothers may have been able to dodge death a few (or a hundred...) times, but Death himself has made it very clear that the end is inevitable - just as this song so cheerily expresses. As for my editing, I decided to keep it simple due to the fact that the style of the song itself is pretty simple. The near-literal matching of lyric to image throughout the video was intentional, as I felt it lent a more whimsical feel that better contrasts with the dark nature of the subject matter. Hopefully I've managed to make this enough of a paradox! There was another video I had been debating on entering, but in the end I had decided this one fit the guidelines of the paradox challenge best.
